Default Car Covers...What fits?

Guys, I am in need of a car cover before I leave town to a car show in Houston, TX. I need something that is good quality, but also resonable. I like the Nissan OEM one for the Z but no one can really tell me if this one will fit our cars because of the spoiler and longer nose.

Does anyone have ideas on this?

i'll go take a pic of mine out in the shed. I believe i still have the box. Cost me around 75 bucks but trust me, this thing doesn't scratch whatsoever. I'm very picky with my black colored car and just moving around a car cover on it's surface but this car cover has been great. It's an indoor and out.

The OEM doesn't fit the Nismo Z per Jeff at West Covina. A customer there tried one and it didn't fit. I have been checking around and so far no one has the pattern for the Nismo Z. It will take custom measurements to make a pattern to fit. They basically take a Z coupe and add as required to incorporate the wing, nose, rear facia.

Your Nismo Spoiler is not near as high and your bumpers do not strech near as far. Thanks anyways Agent.

The OEM cover won't work as stated earlier. I'll probably get a Noah $198.47 or Evo Tech $171.05 from Big Sky.

As i was scanning the forums i had a knock on the door.....low and behold it was the cover i ordered from CarCoverKingdom. Didnt expect it to get here before Xmas but woo hoo. I bought the indoor block it dustop since it is always garaged but manages to get loads of dust on it. I ran out to check the fit....... The cover fits snug and covers the car completly save a very very small amount of the rockers on either side. Covers the wing and front lip nicely. They were overly generous with the mirror pockets and with the extra material looks like elf ears ala WoW My element antenna is lost in the antenna pocket as well but looks like oem antenna would fit nicely. Overall i am very happy with the cover and if it keeps the dust out as well as it fits....i think i have a winner

What pattern # did you order? Is there extra material to cover the large wing and front and rear facia? Reason I ask is the pattern #'s appear to be the same for the standard 350Z coupe. I want to make sure the cover is really for a Nismo Z. I have been told the pattern isn't really Nismo Z specific. Pics?

From what Covercraft emailed me the cover is no different than the 350Z coupe. So it appears they don't make a cover specific to the Nismo Z......I may try and send them some measurements.

They don't make a Nismo specific pattern. The listing was incorrect on their website.....
